Title: DSG High mileage
Post by: mac456 on 31 August 2013, 01:08

Hi guys,

just wondering what the dsg is like on the higher mileage cars? most of the gtis i am looking at are around 80k or so and slightly worried of the gearbox eventually breaking. I assume they are reliable?

I would prefer one over a manual.

At 80k the DSB box should have been serviced twice. Make sure of this!

Make sure theres no lag in change or erratic self shifting.
